    Lots of sell outs around the country this week. MSU has a football fan problem right now and it's not COVID
    CAN'T PUT A SADDLE ON A MUSTANG

    I'm not sure I have the answer.

    My only guess is that it's COVID + our fan base is in a weird spot where we've been good for over a decade & have no interest in 7 win seasons.

    See... Arkansas is excited about the prospect of a 7 win season, thus their fans are pumped. Our fans couldn't care less about 7 wins & thus aren't excited about what is clearly a 7 win team on the field

    Yeah perspective on where teams are coming from. Our fans after the Joe hangover and Leach not giving a lot of hope for anything better, it is understandable.

    We still have some great fans and a great fanbase. See Omaha if you think not. The rest of the nation would agree.

    It is disappointing we lost the momentum Mullen and Bryne had going regarding sell-outs. However, I believe the way all 4 years from 14-18 ended....let a little air out of the balloon, each year.

    With that said, as similar as Arkansas and Mississippi are......the environment is totally different regarding college athletics. Arkansas is all Razorback. Mississippi is split about 5-6 ways. The GTR in particular is as much Bama fans as MSU fans...unfortunately. NWA is more populated and wealth than the GTR. Could State do better marketing? Probably so. But State has base line obstacles that Arkansas doesn't.
